Wash the wings, remove the tip and sever the wings at the joints. Arrange wing pieces in a large, flat baking dish, sprinkle with the vinegar and the cayenne pepper. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and cook in the microwave on high for 15 minutes; turn the wings and add some more cayenne in your likings, re-cover and microwave for another 15 minutes.
During the last 15 minutes, preheat the oven to 350F and combine the remainder of the ingredients into a basting sauce. When the wings are finished in the microwave, drain the liquid off and apply some of the basting sauce to the top of the wings.
Cook in the oven for about 25 minutes. Remove and turn the wings; baste with more sauce and return the wings to the oven for about 25 minutes. Check the wings occasionally through the cooking period and baste as needed. After this cooking, the meat on wings should almost fall off the bones but not quite! Let’s set for about 10 minutes before removing from the baking dish and arranging them on a platter.
